Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Secret Passage to 'Hell'
"So, you're sure that the underground chamber that trapped you is just below King Chen?" I asked, touching my chin.
The woman's eyes were firm, and her fists were clenched, "It must be there, I was blindfolded and walked out and didn't go far, so, I'm sure!"
I nodded in agreement, "Then can you tell me how you got caught a year ago?"
The woman licked her chapped lips and made a blank reminiscence: "I remember that I accompanied my father to a neighboring country to sell salt, and was attacked by mountain bandits at a tea shop on the way.
Daddy is nowhere to be found, and I was knocked unconscious and taken away by them, as for whether it is a real mountain bandit, presumably based on what happened to me later, the two immortals must be able to judge it, right?"
I pulled the corners of my mouth dryly and smiled, "Then do you remember how many girls were locked up in that underground secret room before you left?"
The woman was stunned again, and then said sneeringly, "Approximately, there are about a dozen people!"
I raised my hand and took the woman's hand, "Sister, please rest assured, when I understand the situation, I will definitely rescue those trapped girls and give you justice!"
The woman forced out a smile and nodded with difficulty.
I helped her lie down again, afraid that she would not be comfortable sleeping, so I pulled her out of the stone room and found a soft little cushion for her to cushion.
I watched her close her eyes and fall asleep, and after watching for a while, I mysteriously pulled Yexun back to the small hole under the eye of the mural.
"Lord Night, do you believe it?" I asked Yexun softly.
He whispered back to me, "Lord Bai, what do you mean by this?"
"I think there's something strange about that woman, you heard what she said just now, don't you think there's anything wrong?" I looked at Yexun in confusion.
He raised his eyebrows, chuckled and teased me, "Oh? Lord Bai is learning to be smart now!"
Looking at his hanging-eared appearance, I almost want to beat him to death!
Why does this guy always like to make trouble when he should be serious?
probably seeing that my face was not quite right, Ye Xun immediately changed his words with interest, "Lord Bai, do you think she is weird?"
I glanced cautiously at the woman, who was still asleep with her eyes closed.
"First, she said that she had been taken away a year ago, and she was still on the outskirts of the Imperial City, how did she know that she had been trapped under the Chenwang Mansion?
Second, the words she was saying throughout the whole process, for the trapped women, as well as the details of those Tibetan women, they all avoided the important and trivialized.
Last but not least, I think she might be someone who knows what we're talking about!"
Ye Xun listened to me without saying a word, and her face was solemn, "So you think she deliberately approached us by making a scene?"
I shook my head uncertainly, "I'm just guessing at the moment, but I think we'd better be careful!"
The woman on the other end was still asleep, and I looked at her silently for a long time, and the more I looked, the more I felt that my guess was more real.
Yexun set out to break down the wall with frescoes, but this stone wall seemed to be different from other stones, it was much more difficult to do in terms of width and thickness than we thought.
It's a big movement, it's easy to cause ground movements, and when the time comes, it will cause panic, not to mention, if this place is discovered by that group of evil masters, it is estimated that the trouble will be the greatest.
Nightshade tried to use spells to get through the wall, but for some reason, he told me that there were charms and spells on the other side of the wall that would be restricted from moving.
The two of us crouched in front of the small hole and hesitated, and I half-squinted at the secret room at the other end, "Otherwise, Lord Night, how about we turn into a wisp of green smoke?"
"Yes, yes, but the reason why I don't say this idea is because I'm afraid that the formation on the other end will be too dangerous after the past, and Lord Bai is afraid that he won't be able to bear it!"
My little soul warmed slightly, and immediately waved his hand to signal, "Although I am not as powerful as the Night Lord's exercises, I am still very confident in my own strength!"
There seemed to be movement on the other side of the passage, and I hurried closer to the small hole to see more clearly.
There should have been a dark shadow passing through the dim corridor, but it was only a momentary thing, and when I wanted to see it more clearly, it was already as quiet as before.
I was cursing, but my head was still close to the little moving hole.
Suddenly, a scarlet, bloodshot eye suddenly appeared opposite the small hole at the end of the darkness.
The coldness and dead silence in that eye made me fall backwards to the ground.
Yexun hurriedly held me up, "Xiaobai, what do you see?"
I shook my hand and pointed to the hole, "There's a blood-red eye there, and his uncle scared me!"
"Eyes?" Yetun Fox suspiciously prepared to lean over to look.
I was afraid that his fragile young heart would be hit, "Be careful yourself, if you really can't help it, you can poke that eye!"
The corners of Yexun's mouth hooked, and he wasn't ready to look at that eye, but patted me and grabbed his hand, "Since Lord Bai said so, then I won't look at it!"
I saw him pinching the trick and twisting the seal, his fingertips were a little rounder, and he immediately thought about the small hole and ejected it.
There was no sound on the other side of the corridor, but movement appeared on our side, and the woman, who was still asleep, immediately covered her eyes and sat up from the ground in pain.
She looked in pain, and a large amount of blood was running down her hands covering her eyes.
This, what's going on?
Yexun and I glanced at each other suspiciously, "Go over and have a look?"
Yexun walked in front, and I followed closely behind, and the woman moaned in pain, and I suddenly felt my eyes jump when I looked at her appearance.
"Is there anything else you're hiding?" I stood in front of her with my arms crossed, "You were lying at first, were you?"
The woman was now only moaning and crying out in pain, and how could she care to answer me.
I glanced at Yexun and motioned for him to speak, I don't know what's wrong with this guy today, he is always out of state, and I feel that he has been thinking about other things.
Seeing it like this, Yexun immediately cleared his throat, and took out his usual arrogant posture, "That's right, if you tell us the truth now, your eyes, I will heal them!"
I nodded approvingly, but the woman was groaning and crying out in pain, and I didn't know if I heard what we had just said.
We waited patiently for her for a while, seeing that she was already prostrating in pain, but there seemed to be no sign of wanting to ask us for help.
Oh, it seems that the conditions are not enough to attract her, right?
My good temper and patience have been drained, and now standing in front of her is a grumpy white impermanence.
I raised my hand and rubbed the tip of my nose, and summoned a sharp dagger in my hand, I squatted down and approached the woman, the tip of the knife just touched her belly, and made a vicious gesture, "If you don't say it, your child can't live!"
